Women in Red

Fashion Illustration - 1920s to 1980s

This week at Take a Word the theme is A SPLASH OF RED. It took me ages to find, cut and edit all these girls. Background is mine.

Isn't it amazing to observe how fashion changed throughout time? I think our time is the best when it takes to clothes because finally we can wear whatever we want. 

Gimme your hand

Went to the fortune teller / Had my fortune read / I didn't know what to tell her / I had a dizzy feeling in my head / When she took a look at my palm / She said son are you feeling kinda warm?

I used elements from Tumblefish Studio, Beth Rimmer and my own stuff.

This week the theme at Take a Word is MOON. This is a photo of mine, edited with my own filters and the gorgeous face of Mary by Botticelli. I'm glad to be around here again.

Geneviéve

This week the theme at Take a Word is OLD FASHIONED. I have chosen the 1900s. Besides, feathered hats and real fur are really old fashioned these days. Geneviéve Lantelme - photographed for Les Modes, January 1910 issue - looks gorgeous though. 

I edited, cut and colored Geneviéve's photo (found here); background: Holliewood Studio; texture/overlay: Paree and Buzillo Stock.

A fine man

This week at Take a Word the theme is MALE. I had this photo for a while and I find it a bit intriguing as he is almost smiling, and they didn't smile back then, and he had earrings. I decide to provide a new outfit to him to match his wild spirit.
